I can't think of a better program to perfect your Spanish. Córdoba is small so you won't find many English speakers-which does kind of force you to keep the language pledge. The city is steeped in art history, so that's a great subject to pursue here. Finding apartments was challenging, and not all landlords are up front about the living experience they're offering. It's not the most hopping Spanish city, so I got some cabin fever (coming from NYC) but it's certainly one of the most beautiful.

What would you improve about this program?

Better assistance in terms of finding housing, better presence of Middlebury staff in the city itself. I felt like after we found our apartments and had gotten our programs squared away we were on our own, and while we had enough Spanish skills to function, we didn't have as much support as the students at the Madrid or Getafe schools, for instance. Also, the program should have a better network of people leasing apartments in Córdoba as I ended up with a pretty awful living situation since the landlord didn't enforce certain policies with my roommates and we had several facilities issues that he didn't feel inclined to resolve.
